West Virginia: America's New Moving Hotspot in 2024

One of the primary reasons people are flocking to West Virginia is the affordability it offers. The cost of living is significantly lower compared to many other states, making it an attractive destination for families and individuals looking to stretch their dollars further. With the median home price well below the national average, West Virginia offers a chance for homeownership that might be out of reach in more expensive states.
